probably the greatest film of silent era - By: Toma Manojlovic, 17 Nov 2006
Film-a masterpiece from(in my opinion)the greatest director of all time;this DVD edition-simply a must have.First of all,excellent print-perhaps even better than the Twenty Century Fox edition(even though they own the original master prints),secondly,a wealth of extra materials-more than on any other DVD edition i know-full length audio commentary,some scenes not includedin the original film(real rarity for a work from this period),a 40 minutes long documentary about Murnau's Four Devils-another film he made for Fox,but now lost,150 pages of the original script with Murnau's annotations,and a wonderfully interesting & informative booklet,40 pages long,with ilustrations & texts by,among others,Lotte Eisner,perhaps the greatest authority on Murnau & German Expressionism.This magnificent Eureka edition will hardly ever be surpassed.I can also recommend their edition of Murnau's Faust-another triumph.Strongly recommended!!!
